Build me a truck engine..........

I have no intentions of it being a hot rod, just want it to run well. I just want enough cam to hear it, probably something a little bigger than a RV cam. I have a 14 Ram to pull the hot rod or tractor with. Most likely the boat or SXS will always pulled with it too although neither are much of a load to pull.

If I do a 518 it will be down the road as I don't have one, I did but sold it thinking I'd never use it. LOL

I really like the idea of running the 408, with a small cam even with the ported heads it'll be a monster down low. I'll sit on the 340, after thinking about it the short stroke wouldn't be ideal for what I wanting.

I want the truck to be reliable and fun to drive. As mentioned I already have a hot rod and my 14 Ram 1500 4X4 to use.

Thanks Rumble, it's on the lift waiting on it's annual oil change and lash check, also there are new 275 M/T radials to be mounted for it. The 325's still have plenty of tread but it has killed the sidewalls. It really is a fun car, low maintenance, runs hard and does it on pump 93. Did I mention it's fun to drive? Every time I drive it I get the same feeling I did as a 16yo the first time I turned my cousins 69 383 RR loose over forty years ago. It's funny how some things never leave us.
